Common Beer Off-Flavor Tasting

Acetaldehyde made a little more sense—if you can readily relate latex paint to green apples.

Learned a lot at my second beer judging experience yesterday:

Jamil Zainasheff (@hereticbrewing ) once told me there’s nothing wrong with extract brewing, and I agree. I understand the benefits of using either grain, extract, or both. Grain gives you more control, extract gives you more flexibility. It all makes beer at the end of the day.

Last @tblinvitational my mission was to drink all the beers. I completed that mission and turns out it was a bad idea 😅 2.5 years later, I had a strategy to take it slow and turns out, drinking beer is so much more fun that way ☺️ It could be the 30-year-old in me talking, or possibly the Certified Cicerone, or maybe just a pandemic survivor, but I’m happy with the changes I’ve made. We still cute 😇and Reno is still 💯💯💯

As if I didn’t have enough reasons to love spooky season (pumpkins, toasty crispy bois, yellow leaves, stews, and sweaters like this one from @echoblue.truckee consignment)… YA GIRL IS NOW A CERTIFIED CICERONE!!!!!!!! Hard work pays off! What a fun ride. What now?? 🤔😏🥳😜

I went to Chicago to (hopefully) pass the @cicerone exam and celebrate my brother’s birthday by drinking as many beers as possible in West Chicago, including those at our first stop at @arthistorybrewing for Oktoberfest 🇩🇪 and second stop @penrosebrewing 🔥… lots of cornfields were witnessed as well.

Representing as Secretary of @truckeefol tonight at @alibialeworks Truckee, drinking “Your Granddad’s Beer,” a Cali Common 😍 (you know my nickname in college was grandma 👵🏼💁‍♀️)
